Step-by-Step Instructions for French Onion Pasta Salad
- Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
- While the onions caramelize, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your short pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve about a cup of pasta water.
- In a medium bowl, combine the reserved sour cream and 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar. Whisk in a splash of reserved pasta water, then add salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta and caramelized onions. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired creaminess.
- Fold in chopped fresh chives and parsley. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
